It Took 37 Years
A Christian brother named LeeRoy Beatty memorized the entire Bible. It took him 37 years. He went to be with the Lord in 1998 at the age of 83. He used to say, "Jesus said, 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.' If you are not fishing, you are not following." He also said, "The Bible says, 'He that wins souls is wise.' What does that mean if you are not winning souls?" He would say, "Silence in not golden. It's yellow." He had many other pithy sayings. One was, "Don't miss Heaven. You never will forgive yourself if you do." Pithy though they were, his little sayings were based on sound doctrine. He knew his Bible. So, go fishing today. Be wise. Don't be yellow. Take courage through faith in God. Live to hear, "Well done, you good and faithful servant" and when you die, you will. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
